Its basically just a plate of glass, with a little digitizer chip attached, and a cable with the homebutton attached. It sits on top of the lcd. You can get three different parts AFAIK.. 1: LCD, glass and digitizer. These cost anywhere from 130$ and up on eBay and Amazon, though you can get them even cheaper sometimes. This is to replace all the display parts, in case the LCD is also cracked or completely black. 2: Glass and digitizer. Is the lcd behind the glass fine? Then you only need to replace the glass. This one comes with a new digitizer chip, so you can just take your cracked glass out and put this in. It usually costs 50-100$ 3: Glass. No digitizer. Only the front glass. The drawback is, that you have to user your solder, to get the digitizer off your old iPad, and then solder it to the new one. And switch the homebutton too. This is much harder than getting a front glass that comes with a new digitizer already mounted to it. But hey, if you already have a solder iron, and you're not scared off from ...

Which other laptops have Thunderbolt 3? A complete list would be too long: Asus, Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Razer, etc. But here's a list of TB3 laptops ranging from 13' ultra books to 17' professional machines.

As you can see, most of them have REMOVABLE SSDs. Many have CPUs equivalent to the new MacBook Pro, and with a similar size/weight but at much lower prices. There are even quite a few that have 32GB RAM available.

(And with a removable SSD, it's easy to upgrade a laptop to a HD as fast as the new MBP next year.)

I've been a long time Apple enthusiast, but the new MBP is underwhelming and disappointing.

It's a single core version of the A5.... You heard it here first. How do I know?

Can't tell, but here's something to think about: Remember when a new version of the 3rd Gen Apple TV showed up, featuring a 28nm, reworked single core version of the A5?

And remember there was a lot of speculation, that it was a test run of sorts, and that Apple was planning to use the chip for something else? Since it didn't really make sense to go through all that trouble just to save a few watts in an Apple TV?

ST Micro did both the accelerometer and the gyroscope. That's according to Chipworks teardown anyways...

@JohnA:It's Chipworks who concluded that it's an STMicro part. Please try and pay attention before accusing others of unwarranted speculation. It's not like we're being overrun with Apple Watch teardowns after all.
